Your Google Classroom will be available on the first day of the course. Please ensure you join it as soon as it becomes accessible, as this is where you will submit all of your assignments and receive feedback from your instructors.

What you'll learn

Your course details

Level B: Integrated Practice

Level B builds on Level A by focusing on practical strategies to support students with common learning differences. LSAs deepen their understanding of specific disabilities, refine small group teaching techniques, and enhance collaboration with school teams. Through case studies and targeted interventions, participants learn to transform observations into informed support plans. These skills are essential for addressing more complex learner profiles in Level C.
